Let me guess.

Take money from consumers via Fig, and then take money for exclusivity via EGS?

Smart. Looking forward to it.

You can really hear that they got Paul Ruskay on board with that amazing music

I didn't believe it, but Deserts of Kharak had god-tier music even after 15 years since Ruskay composed for Homeworld 2.

Also, wasn't Fig not doing so well? I recall Eurogamer or Venturebeat saying they had a whole lot of debt last year.

*From this interview with Brian Fargo
Because I was looking at some numbers for Fig and it doesn't look - it looks like there's debt racking up. The future doesn't look that rosy, but I don't know if I'm seeing the whole picture?

Brian Fargo:
I'm not involved in the management, I'm not on the board, I've never seen a financial statement of that company. I'm just an adviser as it relates to games; I sit there looking at product. Often people have misconstrued how involved either me or Feargus [Urquhart, Obsidian CEO] are in the inner-workings of that organisation.

What's with the fear mongering around fig, though? They are completely legit and have been financing tons of great games since their inception.

little snippet, this trailer is pretty much based on a piece of concept art from Homeworld 2

I have no truck with Fig, but the combination of crowdfunding and already having a big publisher on board -- and that publisher being Gearbox -- warrants a bit of an eyebrow raise.

BBI delivered with Deserts of Kharak for sure and lots of amazing people from the old Relic team works there. I would say taht yes, you can most definitely trust them
The game will probably be amazing, It's not the game I would be worried about, it's everything surrounding it.

Fuck yes. Much hype.


Hopefully they use RTX Shadows and Reflections for this. Would be a great implementation opportunity.

Deserts of Kharak was done by the same studio under Gearbox. That's why I trust the same studio with Homeworld 3 I guess.

Great news, can't wait. Will not fund it on Fig though. Big company doing crowd-funding, ehhhhh.

it's not going to come out if it's not funded on Fig though. the crowdfunding campaign is probably just used to gauge the interest and lessen the financial risks associated with greenlighting a RTS in 2019

The Fig goal is just $1, so I guess they're basically saying that the crowdfunding isn't really gonna be key to the project? In any case, this is really exciting! Blackbird did an amazing job with Deserts of Kharak. If anyone's interested, I actually came across these fantastic videos on just what it is that made - makes - Homeworld so special a few days ago:







(I know they're long, but they really are worth the time if you're even vaguely interested, I promise.)

Watching them really made me wish for a new Homeworld, so this is great timing.

I bought my first graphics card to play Homeworld. I'll def want to play this one.

They are saying so very clearly in the campaign themselves, yeah

Sorry, but a big publisher resorting to crowdfunding? The release date is 2022, so you'll be handing out your money to Gearbox 3 years in advance!
